Multiple Triggers?

[sixwest]

Is there any way to design what I could best describe as a "multiple
trigger?" On one slide, I'm attempting to have one object animate upon the
clicking of five different triggers instead of the "one-to-one" setup.

Thanks

If I understand what you want to do, it is definitely possible. All you
have to do is set five different animations for the same object. Each
animation can have exactly the same settings if you like, except that
different objects are set to trigger the different animations.

Just to double check, you are using PowerPoint 2002(XP) or 2003, right?

As David said, there is not a problem with multiple animations being started
from a single trigger, but it is a little counter intuitive. The individual
animation is tied back to the triggering shape. If you tie several
animations to the same triggering shape, they will all fire when that shape
is clicked.

However, how they fire depends on how the custom animation starts are set.
If the animations are all set to 'Start on click', then you will need to
click the trigger once each time you want the next one to start. If you
change the animation to 'with previous', then they will all fire the first
time the trigger shape is clicked.
